Sabine Reuter

Sabine Reuter was a West German rower who finished an unfortunate fourth with the coxed quadruple sculls at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. She could not participate in the 1980 Moscow Olympics due to the US-led boycott of the Western countries. Her greatest moment came in 1978 when she won the World Championship silver medal with the coxed quadruple sculls.

Reuter won six national championships, four with the coxed quadruple sculls in 1976 and 1978-80, and two titles with the double sculls, in 1976 (with non-Olympian Marga Trapp) and 1984 (with Ute Kumitz).

After graduating from high school, Reuter first studied sports in Köln and graduated from the German Sport University as a qualified sports teacher. She then studied human medicine at the University of Köln until 1988. She specialised in internal medicine and geriatrics and worked with various German hospitals (Eduardus Hospital, Maltese Hospital St. Hildegardis, St. Marien Hospital at Köln), as well as in Caracas (Venezuela). From 2013 Reuter worked at the Geriatrics Clinic of the HELIOS St. Marienberg Klinik Helmstedt. Before that she also had a teaching position at a university, was involved in various research projects, and was chief physician at the Geriatric Clinic with a day clinic at the Diakoniekrankenhaus Halle (Saale) in Saxony-Anhalt. In 2017, she became the new chief physician for the geriatrics departments of the Asklepios Harzklinik Clausthal-Zellerfeld and the Asklepios Harzklinik Goslar.
